"I wonder what young master means by his words?" the fatty clasped his hands together in respect before saying, "This one's name is Eagie, pleased to make young master's acquaintance."
Dan nodded his head before saying, "It means that I will buy her," His nonchalant tone made a light burn inside the fatty's eyes as he looked around and replied, "This place seems to be inappropriate for someone of your standing, let's find a suitable location to continue this discussion, shall we?"
As someone who dabbled in this kind of trade for the past several decades, he had quite the understanding about how everything works behind the scenes. And seeing that the young master who wanted his merchandise looked smart, yet a hint of burning desire could be seen shining within his eyes, he instantly knew that this young master was a fat piece of meat.
Inside an establishment that looked somewhat average, Dan and Eagie could be seen sitting before a table with Grace beside them. Eagie's fatty face looked amiable and gentle while Dan maintained his indifferent countenance.
"Since young master has taken quite a liking with my slave here, I couldn't possibly offend young master's desire but since this girl is quite a special one, I do hope that we can agree with a satisfactory price..."
"Special?" Dan lifted an eyebrow, the System couldn't find anything special about this young woman yet why is this bastard saying that she's someone special? Is he trying to fool me into increasing my initial offer? Dan inwardly thought.
"Yes, this girl is quite special," Sipping his tea, Eagie continued, "Her last offer about making you the wealthiest man in this world could possibly come true with her help..."
"What do you mean? My time is limited, go straight to the point!" Dan hurried the former as Eagie gave a light chuckle and said, "The reason why she became a slave, it was because of her repeated estafa offenses, before she was caught, she managed to embezzle at least ten thousand gold coins and even bankrupted two companies where she worked for before..."
Dan's eyes shone in a strange light, "So you're saying that she's a professional swindler? And she could transform me into a wealthy man with the help of her knowledge towards that field?" Dan glanced at Grace, her face paired with her silver hair and her perfect figure made him unable to think that she could be such a masterful swindler.
"That's indeed the case, young master, the truth is I just arrived at this town and was planning on auctioning her since her knowledge about mind games and business could prove helpful towards those struggling merchants.
Dan lifted an eyebrow, "Auctioning her? Don't tell me that you told someone else about her situation and identity, did you?" If Eagie did such things, if Dan took her from his hands, trouble may come knocking his way.
Eagie's expression flashed in a discreet light, 'I didn't think that he would be such a cautious young man,' He thought to himself before replying, "Young master doesn't need to worry, didn't I tell you that I just arrived at this Town, how could I possibly have the leeway of contacting anyone..."
He shrugged and after witnessing him relax, his eyes flashed in a light of cunningness. Meanwhile, Dan coldly snorted in his heart, 'With such a good merchandise, it would be impossible for such a shrewd merchant like this fatty to not take advantage of those struggling merchants.'
The two of them maintained an amiable smile but were secretly plotting with each other. If a third party came here and saw their appearance, they would think that they were just a pair of friends that just met each other after a long time.
"Okay, I'm convinced, as for the initial offer, how about a thousand gold coins?" Grace's expression flickered, she didn't expect that Dan would drop such an exorbitant price as an initial offer.
The prices of average mortal slaves were ten gold coins, while those who had a cultivation were priced higher at a hundred gold coins, but Dan directly offered a thousand gold coins, ten times higher than a cultivator slave.
Eagie inwardly smiled, as he expected, the young master before him really was a fat piece of flesh! Calming his nerves, he gave a small awkward smile before saying, "Young master, it seems like your offer is quite low..."
Dan lifted an eyebrow since it was the first time that he would buy a slave, he didn't have an understanding of the market and how much were the prices of each slave so he tried probing by offering a thousand gold coins.
Grace revealed a wry smile as much as she wanted to scream and say that his offer was too much, under the compelling force of the collar on her neck, she couldn't do anything other than to watch him fall under Eagie's feet.
Dan mused for a moment, witnessing the wronged and awkward expression on the fatty's face. He couldn't help but chuckle inside his mind, 'This bastard really is good, if not for the fact that I am suspicious in him at the start, I could've fallen in his trap...' Clearing his thoughts, his visage displayed a struggle before saying, "How about two thousand gold coins?"
Eagie's expression still looked awkward as he squeezed out a smile, "I don't think that the price that the young master offered is quite appropriate, she should be at least ten thousand gold coins..." Eagie shook his head and Dan clicked his tongue,
"How annoying, I just arrived at this place from the distant Imperial Capital, I don't have any time for this if her price is ten thousand gold coins, then fine!" Dan grunted before taking a cloth bag and placing it on the table. Eagie's expression flickered, his awkward smile turned amiable before saying, "Young master really is a benevolent and decisive man, with someone as smart as her at your side, you will definitely lose out..."
Eagie took the cloth bag and placed it deep in his pockets, "Now it is time to check the product, young master, please check and see if there's any damage or defects, if you found even a speck of damage or defect, I can give you a discount..." He flicked his wrist as a gust of wind destroyed Grace's clothes, revealing her stark-naked figure at the two.
Grace's expression became somewhat rosy as she felt the gazes of the two landing on her figure. Dan fiercely glared at Eagie, "I don't think that it's quite right for you to be ogling a product that I just bought, right?"
"Hahaha," Eagie chuckled and scratched his head, "What a blunder, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I just hope that young master forgives me," He turned his head to the side, before whispering, "Though I swear under my name that she's definitely a virgin, young master can check if she truly is and if not, I can refund you half of what you paid..."
The blush on Grace's cheeks intensified, while Dan shook his head and said, "It's fine, I don't care about that anyways..." Turning towards Eagie, he said, "Give me some decent clothes for her to wear, I'll retire with her for now..."
As a bonus, Eagie gave him several sets of modest clothes that she could wear before handing over a Formation Disc where Dan could infuse his Qi and order her to do something that she could not reject.
After completing their transaction, Dan walked away from the vicinity along with Grace who remained silent all this time. Since it was noon, Dan brought her towards the restaurant where he ate his breakfast earlier. Afterward, he also brought her with him to buy some clothes, his gesture of buying clothes for her made the young maiden suspicious of his actions.
'Could it be that he's trying to get me in good terms?' She inwardly thought before shaking her head, "Nah, that couldn't be, if he wanted to take me, he could just say it and I would be unable to refuse under the influence of this collar..."
She dispelled the idea and the two retired to the luxurious Inn where Dan currently stayed. Inside the most expensive room available, Dan faced Grace on the bed before he said, "What do you think about my actions of buying you, earlier?"
His eyes had a glint of expectations that didn't escape Grace's perception.
Grace shrugged and bluntly replied, "Honestly, though I can't really complain because you saved me from that terrible fate, the price that you offered for a mortal like me is stupid..."
"Hoooh? Why do you say so?" Dan cupped his chin in amusement, as Grace continued, "Mortal slaves were priced at ten gold coins at most, while those who had a cultivation were priced at around a hundred gold coins to five hundred, but never at a thousand! Young master's way of handling his funds really is wasteful!" She shook her head in a gesture of disappointment, as someone that had to swindle money out of people to live, she felt pained witnessing someone throwing away money like nothing.
Dan lightly chuckled, "You're right, you're right, that action of mine really was stupid, but don't worry, the money that I used to buy you will soon return back to me..." A mysterious smile lifted onto his lips as Grace's expression flickered, "What do you mean?" She asked with a frown.
"Just wait," His eyes flashed in a complicated light, "I'll have you witness how the greed of humans, knows no bounds..." He disregarded her presence and stared at the door in anticipation.
"I wonder what young master means by his words?" the fatty clasped his hands together in respect before saying, "This one's name is Eagie, pleased to make young master's acquaintance."
Dan nodded his head before saying, "It means that I will buy her," His nonchalant tone made a light burn inside the fatty's eyes as he looked around and replied, "This place seems to be inappropriate for someone of your standing, let's find a suitable location to continue this discussion, shall we?"
